Hubba-hubba, here is one gaming laptop that is a true beauty! What we especially like about the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d Core i7 15.6″ 3D Gaming Laptop is that unlike many gaming laptops out there that have overly masculine designs, this one should especially appeal to female gamers with its neat purple tribal design. But aside from its cool lid, the laptop also sports an impressive spec list: Weighing under 6 lbs, the IdeaPad Y560d features TriDef 3D technology, it’s bundled with Polarizer 3D glasses, JBL speakers, OneKey Theater II, Dolby Home Theater sound, 4GB of ram, a 500GB hard drive, and a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 card. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d is on sale today for $1,146.65 after $452.35 off

Nokia’s New Concept Phone that Stands Up Itself

Nokia today unearthed an innovative concept phone named Kinetic that could stands up to alert users on incoming calls, emails, and text messages. This cool concept phone was developed by British designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins. How the Kinetic works is by having an electromagnet built into a curved base that shifts the weight of the phone so that the phone could roll up or roll down when receiving an alert. “It makes receiving a call, text, email or alarm more playful by converting digital information into kinetic movement,” Innes-Hopkins said. “The stand up feature also has potential for video calling, without the need to hold your phone.”

Will you get a WP7 or will you wait for xda to port WP7 to HD2 ?

We have seen a lot about WP7 over the months from the initial launch to the hands on reviews by the select few tech blogs . Granted there are flaws in the OS ( multitasking , copy-paste are the most talked about ) and there are some great features like xbox live integration ( that will never come to other devices like the iPhone or Android ), sharepoint integration , etc. We should see some exclusive 3rd party game titles some time in August

Apple: 8.4 million iPhone units sold in Q3, up 61% YoY

Apple has just posted their sales figures for Q3 2010 (which ended last June 26), and it’s proof that the iPhone is still a very profitable device for the company. 8.4 million iPhone units were sold during that period which grew by a remarkable 61% YoY. It’s availability in more markets such as China may have something to do with this, but this feat is still impressive nonetheless especially considering that its competition has definitely grown over the past few months.
